So an author's group is suggesting that for a pre-launch checklist, authors should write their own press releases for their books and pitch them to book editors. Is that something people agree with?

It's been getting chilly over here in the UK. Time to wrap up and get warm. ❄️ Ever wonder how people in the medieval period dealt with the cold? I was delighted to talk to the @bigissue.com about it. www.bigissue.com/life/medieva...
Could living like a medieval peasant be the key to surviving winter?
How did people survive winter before central heating? Quite well, actually. Here's how to be more medieval peasant in the cold weather.

I love that with some of my writer friends, we check in on each other and then say instead of goodbye, Happy writing!
I haven't managed to write a chilling villain yet. But what I like most about my villains is that the smarter ones have a back up plan and escape, even after they've been caught. It's often a HFN ending... Or is it?
Eryn McCee@erynmccee.bsky.social · last yr.#HorrorWritersChat is the one time I really regret having the alt text prompt on... More villain stuff. We all have a favourite most scary antagonist. I don't make that many, but then, I'm a fan of humanity being the bad guy. What about you?
desperately trying to write my characters into a corner, but they're all just so nice.

I love this. I don't write horror, but I like it. I write historical mysteries. For an origin story I'm thinking... a younger sister wants desperately to be valued but falls in with the wrong crowd, does something stupid for attention and wakes up with a bad case of a curse that sucks her soul...

My MC Dawn stars in this novel with single POV. She's lovely and sweet, her fav colour is sky blue and she likes dolphins. Wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up, or a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys, whichever comes first. She's everything I'm not, which is why it was fun to write!
